Preface
Jesus Name - The Mask of Tammuz
2 House Message
Acts 4:12 states that there is no other name given whereby we must be saved. Some versions today of the New Testament give the name ‘Jesus’
as being the name of Salvation, while others state it is Yashua. Old Testament scriptures say YHWH is the Savior and none other. Since

disprove their authenticity. YHWH has already been scrutinized (see ‘Halleluyah’ publication) and found to stand, so what are the origins of
the other names we’ve mistakenly been given by translators.
Taken Away
We know from early manuscripts of the New Testament that the name ‘Jesus’ was not the chosen name of the Messiah. This is backed up by
Nailed to the cross Old Testament scriptures and discrepancies in Greek New Testament writings. Never once in all the books before the Messiah came was there a
‘Jesus’ prophesied to come in the flesh. On the contrary, they state that the covenant God whom the Hebrews worshipped (mentioned over
Done Away With 6,800 times) would become flesh and dwell among them ( Jn. 1:14; Phil. 2:6-8). The Messiah said, “I am come in my Father’s name and ye
receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.” John 5:43. What is behind this name people have received instead
Ezekiel of the true name?

Hell The research begins by looking up the name ‘Jesus’. All concordances and dictionaries list it to be a Greek version of Joshua, pronounced
originally as Yahoshuwa, then refers the reader to Jeshu (3442). Hebrew sometimes is transliterated into English in different ways. The
John the Baptist Holmans Dictionary lists Joshua, Jeush and Jeshu as All being translated into ‘Jesus’, which accounts for having the name ‘Jesus’ for Joshua in
Hebrews 4:8 and Acts 7:45, KJV. To understand why all the names relate to Jeshu, it’s important now to look at how scroll writing practices
breath-of-life were influenced around the time of the Messiah.

Lazarus and the rich Many early copies of the New Testament abbreviate sacred words. Abbreviations of these words were formed by writing the first and last
man letters and placing a line over them. Using our English to illustrate, God would appear as GD and Lord would appear as LD. The attempt to
differentiate and dignify the sacred name of God goes back to pre-messianic times, first done by Jews.
Penance
From the Dead Sea Scrolls we know that Jewish scribes often distinguished the name YHWH, (YHWH is known as the tetragrammaton and is
Clean and Unclean recognized in every place where ‘LORD’ or ‘GOD’ has been substituted). Frequently, the scribes who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls would write
the Tetragrammaton in old Paleo-Hebrew script, although the scroll was otherwise written in square Aramaic script. An example is the
Re-Marriage Habakkuk commentary found in cave one, which uses the tetragrammaton only in Biblical quotations. Whenever reference is made to God in
the commentary portion, the generic word ‘El’ (God) is used. This is true in other Qumran (Dead Sea Scroll) documents as well.
Holy Days
The Qumran covenanters had other crafty devices for circumventing the use of God’s name. Sometimes they would write four or five dots in
place of the Tetragrammaton. In their Community Rule for example, the writer quotes Isaiah 40:3 as follows: “Prepare in the wilderness the

way of . . . .”. We know from the Mesoretic text that the four dots stand for the Tetragrammaton, YHWH. This same passage is quoted again in
a document discovered in Qumran cave four (4 Q Tanhumim) with four dots representing the divine name. At times, dots were placed above

the Tetragrammaton when it had been written by mistake, apparently as a means of canceling the word without actually erasing it or giving it
the appearance of being a different word altogether.
Chart
The people in the Qumran community were Jews, belonging to the Essene group, one of four major Jewish religious movements described by
3 Resurrections the first century A.D. Historian, Josephus. They lived apart from other Jews in a strictly disciplined group and copied and composed the
writings mostly around the time of the Messiah. You have to wonder what influenced this small community of Jewish people to disguise
Season Of Our Joy YHWH’s name in this way. If they lived secluded, who were they hiding the name from? Perhaps a look at the Sanhedrin law will shed light on
this question and the beginning of the plot to cover up the Messiah’s name.
Melchizedek
The Sanhedrin Council was the highest Jewish council in the first century. It had authority over the Jews and was made up of Pharisees and
Creation Re-Creation Sadducees, two of the major religious sects. The word Sanhedrin is usually brought into the English translation as ‘council’, and is presided
over by the high priest. At times, the words ‘chief priests’ refer to the action of the Sanhedrin, though the name of the council itself is not used.
the-hunters Keep in mind, this is the same council who accused the Savior of blasphemy. This accusation stemmed from a Sanhedrin law; Mishna
Sanhedrin VII, 5. It reads: ‘The blasphemer only incurs guilt if he utters the secret name of God..when this sentence is pronounced.. the judges
Bottomless Pit arise and rend their garments and never again sew up the torn parts’. In order for them to accuse the Messiah, He had to proclaim to be YHWH
(their God) and to speak the name (their rendition of misuse or blasphemy). In Mark 14:63, the high priest rent his clothing according to this
Immortality law. Stephen was stoned for mention of YHWH being the Messiah and the council persecuted Peter and John demanding they not continue in
this name. Perhaps fear of the great number of followers such a short time after Pentacost persuaded the religious leaders to refrain from
Souls under the alter sentencing them. The noted miracle performed at the gate of the temple was influential in this decision as well ( Acts 4). Remember, some of
the elders believed, but would not confess ( John 12:42).
Who Is He
Another Sanhedrin law, and yet the most significant, is that of a later origin than the last mention. A law was established concerning the
Mask Of Tammuz blotting out of YHWH’s name. With more miracles and conversions attributed to the doctrine of the apostles, the angry and jealous rulers of
the council put into effect their law which read ‘..may his name and memory be blotted out.’ This coincides with Galatians 3:13, “..cursed is
Jesus every one that hangeth on a tree.” Part of being cursed involved the loss of their land and belongings. Sometimes their whole family was
destroyed so their name would be wiped off the earth (blotted out). It was unlawful to speak the name of the cursed person so that even the
In vain memory of the person was quickly blotted out.

Women Since the Semitic languages have the ability to convey abundant meaning through very few words, only three words are needed to write the
entire law (curse) mentioned above. The Hebrew reads right to left and appears:

Concordance and Holman’s Dictionary both give reference to this as being one of the origins of the name ‘Jesus’.
Who Is Your Savior Moving from the Hebrew culture to Greek, look at the structure of the language. Greek is a more highly inflected (look this word up) language
than English. The stems, or roots of words are modified (altered) by addition of prefixes, by the changing of the ending of words and by the
Links insertion of a letter or letters in the midst of words. Once the Jews came under Greek influence, there is noted this tendency to replace or
translate Jewish names to similar sounding Greek names, thus giving the Jewish names more characteristics of the Greek culture. The
Eliyah
formation of (IESOUS) pronounced Yesus, for (YSHW) is centuries older than the Christian period. IESO (without the
Fast popular Greek ending ‘us’ added to most masculine names) is the male form of IASO, the goddess of ‘salvation’! Sound familiar? IESO is
pronounced Yesu (like Yeshu) except without the ‘h’ since the Greek language has no ‘h’ sound in its alphabet. The ‘I’ is equivalent to the
Mithraism Hebrew letter called Yod, both sharing the ‘y’ sound as in yell. Early Christianity simply adopts the current Greek form of the Hebrew names
quite naturally, after the manner of small Hellenizing groups. This practice is found twice in the records of Apollonopolis Magna and twice in
In A Name the LXX translations where other manuscripts use Hebrew.

Forbidden Fruit In fact, many Hebrew names were changed by adding the ‘us’ ending as a sign of adopting the Greek culture. Even the famous Jewish historian
originally known as Joseph became Flavious Josephus after accepting Roman citizenship. The KJ Edition translation in 1611 listed the pagan
Apocalypse god IESO with the common ‘us’ ending as the Saviors name. It did not even have the name ‘Jesus’ in it!

Your Destiny The letter ‘J’, according to Marriam Webster did not exist until after the mid 1600’s. It is derived from the Greek ‘I’ and the Hebrew ‘Y’. The
tail added to the ‘I’ was done first for decoration purposes at the beginning of sentences but still not pronounced as the ‘J’ is now. Later, after
Polygamy the invention of the printing press, the letter ‘J’ gradually aquired its own sound through French influence. The name ‘Jesus’, instead of IESUS,

Other events influenced the formation of this pagan name as well. The IES (from IESO), a name or title for the Roman god Bakkhos (Baccus),
‘the living one’, is translated to IHS in Latin. The Greek, unlike the English alphabet uses the symbol ‘H’ to represent the long vowel ‘E’

sound, as in me, turning IES into IHS. The three letters IHS were used as initials for IESOUS, later written ‘JESUS’.
Symbols In Latin manuscripts of the fourth centuries, the letters IHS were retained for the Messianic name. Medieval Latin texts, 700-1500 AD, have
commonly inc or ihs for Iesus, Iesu or Jesus. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, these abbreviations were in later times often erroneously
FAQ expanded as Ihesus. Most religious and secular encyclopedias and dictionaries state that Baccus was, in Roman mythology, the son of Jupiter.
To the Greeks, he was known as Dionysus, the god of fertility, the son of Zeus. His worshippers tore apart a live animal, ate his flesh and drank
Book of Zadakite his blood. Participants believed they were taking part in Dionysus’ (a.k.a. Baccus’) blood and body. He was said to have healed the sick, done
miracles, turned water left at his temple into wine and walked on water to rescue his believers. Being the winterborn child, he was concealed
Noahide Laws from evil powers seeking his life. At the winter equinox, Christmas, his devotees carried a babe in procession like the Roman Catholics at
Bethlehem do today. He died, visited Hades and rose again. It is not remarkable then that his Greek symbols IHS or IES came to be applied to
Talmud the Messiah.

Faith
The Babylonian religion also knows Baccus but under the name Tammuz ( Ezek. 8:14). Tammuz and his mother Cimmaramus were
by-laws worshipped as a mother holding her infant child. He was conceived, supposedly by a visitation from Cimmaramus’ dead husband, making his a
spiritual, miraculous birth. In Rome, Tammuz was referred to as Jupiter, the same god Barnabas was thought to be in Acts 14:12, because of
Call No Man Rabbi the miracle Paul performed in Lystra. This son, Tammuz worshipped in his mother’s arms was looked upon as invested with all the attributes
and called by almost all the names of the promised Messiah. As YHWH in the Old Testament was called Adonai, so Tammuz was called Adon
Donate or Adonis. Under the Mithras, he was worshipped as the ‘Mediator’. As Mediator and head of the covenant of grace, he was styled Baal-Berith,
‘Lord of the Covenent’. In this character, he is represented in Persian monuments as seated on the rainbow, the well-known symbol of the
covenant. In India, under the name Vishnu, the preserver or savior of men. Though a god, he was worshipped as the great ‘victim man’, who
before the worlds were, because there was nothing else to offer, offered himself as a sacrafice.

If further proof is necessary, there are a few significant finds. One such notation is a Hebrew and Latin Jonah Version (1668) of the Gospel
According to Luke. This book, in the Hebrew section, reveals the Tetragrammaton in its original place instead of the pagan name ‘Jesus’ in
chapter 2, verse 21. The Tetragrammaton also appears in its rightful place instead of ‘LORD’ multiple times. In recent years scholars have

www.lwmlc.com/mask-of-tammuz.php 2/3
7/22/2019 Jesus The Mask of Tammuz
claimed that Matthews gospel account was at first written in Hebrew. It is contended that Matthew and the early Christians produced this
account to become the last book of the canon, of the Hebrew scriprures, as the Greek scriptures had not been completed. There is evidence that
various recensions of the Hebrew and Aramaic versions of Matthew’s account persisted for centuries among early Jewish Christian
communities of Palastine and Syria. Early writers such as Papias, Justin Martyr, Tatian, Pantaenun, Clement of Alexandria, Pamphilus, Jerome
and many others give evidence that they possessed or had access to Hebrew and Aramaic writings of Matthew. Jerome of the fourth century
said he personally saw the volume and copied it (which was allowed by the Nazarenes in the Syrian city of Beroea) and that the manuscript
was preserved in the library at Caesarea which the martyr Pamphilis diligently collected. He goes on to state that it contained the divine name
after the manner of the Hebrew, not the LXX.

Furthermore, in the Jonah version mentioned earlier, the Latin section gives the word ‘Domini’ in the place YHWH originally was and later
read ‘LORD’. It is more than interesting to note that ‘Domini’ is from ‘Domino’ meaning ‘to mask’ or ‘to cover up’. The term used as AD
(Anno Domini) would read, ‘year of the mask’ instead of ‘year of our Lord’. The phrase seen earlier, ‘Iesu Hominum Salvator’ (IHS) produces
a notable find as well. The root word, or prefix, ‘Homo’ from Greek origins means ‘same’ or ‘like’, thus the phrase reads ‘Jesus is like (or the
same as) the savior of men’.

These are not just coincidences. Lucifer, who was made in all wisdom, has wanted to be the same as YHWH, wanting the praise of men from
the beginning. He has worked very hard through every culture to deceive, if it were possible, the very elect ( Matt. 24:24, Rev. 13:14). It would
appear he has done an excellent job, but YHWH said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me,” John 10:27.

Can it be denied? This name, Jesus, is tied into paganism in so many realms it is hard to give any credibility to the possibility of its being
authentic! Knowing there is only one name given, and that name is YHWH, you have a decision to make. You can only walk in the light when
it has been revealed to you. Great light has come unto you, will you prefer light rather than darkness? The word tells us to “study to shew
thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” ( 2 Timithy 2:15). The information
is available. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you,” ( Matthew 7:7).
